Macon County Enhanced
9-1-1 is a Joint Communications Center providing
9-1-1 emergency telephone and dispatch services
of emergency responders in Macon and Knox County
Missouri. We are currently providing part
time 9-1-1 emergency telephone and dispatch
services to Schuyler County during a staffing
crisis.
Exciting things are
happening in our dispatch center, with the
installation of new Next Generation 911
telephone equipment (NG911), replacment of radio
consoles, and upgrades to mapping and CAD
software, and a high speed interconnection
between our center and NECOMM(Marion, Lewis, and
Ralls Counties) Our new system will be
connected to NECOMM's 911 phone and radio system
and will be able to provide backup dispatch
services for their system, as well as receive
backup dispatch services to our phone and radio
system from them. Scotland and Schuyler County
have installed 911 telephone workstations that
operate off of the NG911 back room equipment in
Macon, being able to answer their own 911 calls
through this regional plan, with each station in
Macon, Scotland and Schuyler counties being able
to provide backup services to each other.
New 911 call delivery technology (NG911 Core
Services) has been installed and is described in
the "Next Generation 9-1-1 Implementation
Regoinal Project" section.
The replacement and upgrades to our system
has been made possible through a Federal NG911
Grant and the Missouri 911 Service Board's grant
program. |
